The impact of antenatal cluster management on maternal delivery and postpartum rehabilitation.

Objective: Pregnancy care can improve maternal pregnancy outcomes. Cluster nursing, an evidence-based, patient-centered model, enhances pregnancy care, can provide patients with high-quality nursing services, has been widely used in clinical practice in recent years. However, most previous studies evaluated cluster nursing program only for a single clinical scenario.

[Uptake and Accumulation of Cadmium and Zinc by Two Energy Grasses: A Field Experiment].

The remediation potential of large biomass energy grasses in cadmium-contaminated soil remains ambiguous. A field experiment was carried out in a cadmium-contaminated farmland using two energy grasses and two control plants. The two energy grasses were hybrid pennisetum (×, PAP) and purple elephant grass ( 'Purple', PPP), and the two control plants were var.

[Prediction of Cellulose, Hemicellulose, Lignin and Ash Content of Four Miscanthus Bio-Energy Crops Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy].

Biomass energy is being industrialized rapidly in China in recent years, whereas, research on energy grass is still in primary stage. Only if near-infrared spectroscopy mode was constructed which was used to predict the lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose contents in energy crop, the varieties screening, performance evaluation and on-line control of industrialization would be facilitated. In this study, the prediction model for quality indices (cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and ash) of four energy grass (Miscanthus) was built using Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy combined with partial least squares regression (PLSR), and the impacts exerted by particle size on the model were also revealed.

[Impacts of salt stress on the growth and physiological characteristics of Panicum virgatum seedlings].

An experiment was conducted in an artificial climate chamber to study the growth and physiological characteristics of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) seedlings exposed to 0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 mmol x L(-1) of NaCl solutions. With the increasing concentration of the NaCl, the seedling growth was obviously inhibited. The plant height decreased, leaves became smaller, photosynthetic leaf area and net photosynthetic rate reduced, and dry matter accumulation decreased significantly, presenting the general traits of glycophyte.

[Study on the determination of total nitrogen (TN) in different types of soil by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIS)].

In the present paper, the feasibility of determination of total nitrogen (TN) content in different types of soil based on NIS technology was studied. Some surface and subsurface soil samples were collected from Jiangsu, Henan, Shanxi, Hebei and Jilin province in China, on behalf of paddy, calcareous, loess, coastal alluvial and black soil types separately. After being air-dried, milled and screened, the scanned spectra were obtained by near-infrared spectrometer using the sample with diameter below 1 millimeter, meantime the content of TN was measured with the traditional Kelvin method.

[Growth vitality and pollutants-removal ability of plants in constructed wetland in Beijing region].

Nine aquatic plant species commonly found in northern China were transplanted in a horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland in Beijing region to study their growth vitality in the wetland and their removal ability to the pollutants in domestic sewage. The results showed that the wetland's front unit had greater contribution to the COD, TN and TP removal than the rear ones, and all test plant species could grow well in the wetland. After growing for 112 days, different plant species had significant differences in their N and P contents and total biomass (P <0.

[Index system and fuzzy synthetic assessment in landscape evaluation of ornamental grasses].

A composite index system for landscape evaluation of ornamental grasses was built from the aspects of ecological constraints, resources requirement and aesthetic values, and the ornamental grass landscapes in Beijing Botanical Garden and in Nanzhongzhou public green spaces were evaluated by fuzzy synthetic assessment (FSA) method. The results showed that the scores of "very apt" for the ornamental grasses in Beijing Botanical Garden and in Nanzhongzhou public green spaces were 0.459 and 0.
